Initial start (LQ4) bad noises! video This is an '04 Express Van LQ4 with ~160k. I heard the engine start and run in the yard before the engine was pulled. The harness and PCM have been worked by a couple experienced guys on another forum.

This is the 4thish start attempt. They all sound the same. The very first start a lot of fuel got dumped into the engine, enough to send raw fuel out of the tailpipe.
What do you guys think?

ok so we can rule VATS out! I'm here for you dude let's figure this one out!
From the video it sounds like top end to me
But while we're at it,
we have confirmed fuel due to the "raw fuel" dripping its swag out the tips lol
have you confirmed spark?
Have you checked that the starter is disengaging? also kind of sounds like it's tacking against the flywheel ....
SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!
but yeah check spark

Is it running? Might be my phone speaker, but the first video sounds like 8 rods fighting over a quart of oil. Does it have oil pressure? If you dumped that much fuel in the engine, you NEED to change the oil! You've diluted your oil down with fuel and will toast the engine running it like that.

It will not stay running. It had 6 new quarts. Good point on changing the oil now it's been contaminated. I don't have an oil pressure gauge, but the sensor is plugged into the harness and my scangauge isn't showing any codes.
Huge exhaust leak? (just tryin to think simple and easy haha) My loose torque converter bolts sounded like a intermittent rod knock. That sounds like its knockin every revolution... Check everything and get a oil pressure gauge and get a automotive stethoscope and check stuff to see where exactly the knocking is commin from. You could pull valve covers and make sure everything is still there ha. What ever it is it sure sounds pissed off.
